Update: 1/19/2015

Major construction activities for TRTP in the City of Duarte are complete. The next phase of work consists of restoration activities to attempt to return construction areas to a preconstruction condition. Restoration activities will be completed over the course of several years.

As part of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project crews will be installing new wires (SCE telecommunication and upgraded 500 kilovolt transmission wires) on electric transmission structures in the utility right-of-way corridor in your area.

This work will include periodic helicopter operation in the immediate.

Helicopter operation: A small helicopter will be used to position equipment and personnel.
There will be periods when the helicopter will hover in the project area to perform these activities.
There will be periods of increased noise during this activity

Safety Marker Ball Installation: At the direction of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and in consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aviation safety marker balls will be installed on the top wire of certain SCE wire spans in the city of Duarte. The FAA recommended installing lights on certain transmission structures and placing marker balls on certain transmission line spans. Marking and lighting are standard aviation safety measures to alert aircrafts of electrical transmission structures and wires.
